Chambers & Co Accountants Are Accredited As Cyber Essentials Compliant

Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed and industry supported scheme to guide businesses in protecting themselves against cyber threats. It outlines the requirements for mitigating the most common Internet based threats to cyber security. Cyber Essentials is for all organisations, of all sizes, and in all sectors. By deploying the five basic controls within Cyber Essentials, it will help our business protect against the most common forms of cyber-attack emanating from the internet using widely accessible tools which require little skill from the attackers.

Cyber Essentials has been mandatory for central government contracts advertised after 1 October 2014 which involve handling personal information and providing certain ICT products and services.

What Industry has to say about Cyber Essentials:

“The Information Commissioner’s Office supports the Cyber Essentials scheme and encourages businesses to be assessed against it. Protecting personal data depends on good cyber security, and the threats and challenges are getting ever more sophisticated. All too often organisations fail at the basics. This scheme focuses on the core set of actions that businesses should be taking to protect themselves, their customers, and their brand. Cyber Essentials enables businesses to demonstrate that they are taking action to control the risks”

Christopher Graham, Information Commissioner, Information Commissioner’s Office

What Industry has to say about Cyber Essentials:

“ICAEW Chartered Accountants frequently handle sensitive financial information, making data security and risk management central to the work we do. This is why the ICAEW is committed to raising standards of cyber security within the profession, and the wider business community as a whole. The Cyber Essentials scheme provides an industry standard to show that a business cares about its own data – and its customers. That’s why ICAEW worked with government and other industry professionals to develop the scheme, in order to provide a greater standard of cyber hygiene amongst all UK businesses, regardless of size or sector”
